Bonsoir myselfidem,

As promised, I made the tests and here the results.1) Regarding the messages I got "Activate Windows" during the install after the 1st or second reboot is due to my installed VMWare Workstation, I had to uninstall and RE-install it. In fact the vmware-vmx.exe file in the VMWare Workstation prog is acting as the BIOS for the virtual machine. That file was failed.So after having my virtual machine Win7 activated, I backup it with this TOOL. I got backup success. I made again some modifications inside my unattended Wi7 and RE-install it, I loose the activation. So Itest that same tool for the restore, this time I got "ERROR: Windows activation info backup is not found" altough the backup exists

3) I updated WPI 8.1 to 8.2 it looks more accurate. (I copy from 8.1 to 8.2 config.js; useroptions.js and windowoptions.js).The only problem I've with WPI 8.2 is 2 screens overlaped. In fact my WPI consist of 4 screens of prog to install. When WPI start, everything goes fine. Few minutes later screen 3 and 4 become overlaped and can't check or uncheck any prog to install (see image bellow).

Hi,

I had success building an unattended Win7_Ultimate_x32_bits 3 month ago.

Today I'm looking to build Win7_Ultimate_x64_bits Is there anything special to add/mofiy on my here above post #175 Autounattend.xml? Moreover, I heard about a trick enabling 32 bits progs running on a 64 bits machine. Is there any extra installation or configuration to add in Autounattend.xml or other files?

all you have to do is change processorArchitecture="x86" to processorArchitecture="amd64"

No trick, most software will run on 64. I haven't come across very many that won't except if they are 32 bit installer like Acad 2000May have to download 64 bit installer for someWhen 32 programs install it will go to Program Files (X86). You have to watch that if you copy some files to Program Files

Edit: windows-kb890830-v3.18 there is a 64 bit version of that. I'd just eliminate since it updates monthly
